> The desktop app for Apple Music has been updated with the newer versions of Mac OS and performs well

It abbbsolutely does not. Sorry, but I've been seriously considering switching to Spotify just because the desktop Apple Music app (on macOS) might be the worst Mac app I've ever used- certainly the worst piece of Apple software I've ever used. It is shockingly, shamefully bad for what's supposed to be a flagship service of one of the worlds richest companies.

And to be clear, I'm not one of the people on here who's always complaining about various apps. I think Slack is mostly fine. I think Electron apps are generally a positive thing. But the desktop Apple Music app is an abomination. If you don't use an iOS device for the majority of your listening, steer clear of Apple Music.

Have you tried https://cider.sh ? I use it and it’s great, but I haven’t tried the AM mac app since I don’t use a mac

I think I tried this one several months ago and it had too many problems of its own; nicer in some ways, but with some features missing entirely. I ended up switching back, but maybe it's improved since then?

A few months ago it was in Alpha (and it might still be idk) so that makes sense

Agreed, though I suspect the grass is not much greener on the other side.

iTunes became worse and worse over time, but the worst of iTunes was 100 times better than Apple Music on Mac. A total embarrassment and work of utter incompetence. I'd take iTunes back any day.
